So I will be making the SPI armor out of foam, it will probably be my favorite armor to date, got some big plans for it, I am going to have fun with this, anyway here is what I hope to achieve or better:

RMO & BCO

Check out PETG at your local plastics supplier or hardware store. It's effectively the same material as pop bottles but you can get different thicknesses. If you make a buck the shape of your visor you can heat form it with a heat gun or build a cheapo vacuum former.

Clear Worbla is just not fun stuff to work with. You have to get it stupid hot and then flash chill it to get it to keep it's shape. It's also uneven thickness and gives a beer goggles like effect when looking through it.

Still a work in progress, hoping to have the full chest done today minus the straps, I'm going to put those on last after it's all painted, just to have a cleaner look! The paint job is going to be expensive, but it should be awesome!

I'll be watching this thread, ever since I saw the SPI on the cover of "Ghosts of Onyx" I thought it was one of the more unique armorsets, especially since it's very rounded compared to typical UNSC gear. It'll be exciting to see how it turns out
